Venous anomally

Hi!
A venous anomaly is a specific arrangement of small blood vessels draining into a central vein. This is usually a harmless condition not requiring any treatment. Usually, the pressure and speed of blood flow is maintained, and there is no cause of concern. Rarely, these anomalies present with high speed blood flow and can either be considered an AVM if they share this flow instability with an artery or they may increase the risk of bleeding and stroke. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
